Did anyone see the an episode of Boston Legal a week or
2 ago where James Spader's and William Shatner's characters
are having their traditional end of episode drinks and
cigars on the balcony and James Spader takes a sip of
the drink Shatner gave him and makes a face or says something
(can't remember exactly) to indicate it's not very good
and Shatner says, "Diet Scotch". If I had just taken a
sip of scotch I would have sprayed it everywhere. I thought
that was hilarious. I still think of it and chuckle every
so often. What a concept. I don't suppose there really
is such a thing, is there? I wouldn't put it past someone
to actually do it.

I don't know how anyone could come up with a "diet" Scotch - given that
almost all the calories are from alchohol. Besides reducing the proof,
that is.

Right, a tongue in cheek way of not saying "it's the cheap stuff."

YES!! What a riot! That was the first episode of B.L. that I've watched.
So far, I like it.

That was hilarious. The DH and I are huge rans of BL - we're both in
law (lawyer and litigation paralegal, in that order) and BL actually
portrays a law firm the way they actually work, albeit tongue in
cheek. That episode's showing of Betty White as the Sandwich Lady
(thereby being OB) telling a first year associate where, exactly, in a
legal food chain he was (at the bottom of it, behind the Xerox
repairman and the receptionist), was spot on.

That's good to know. But I love it in any case. I keep
reading stupid things in TV Guide (well, mostly back when
the show started) about James Spader's character being
"creepy". I don't find him creepy at all. I find him
outrageous, sweet, and sad. And Wm. Shatner is a hoot.
I know he has always been rather over-the-top as an
actor but now he's sort of parodying himself in a way.
This show is so much fun. Betty White's character is
totally outrageous.
